• {{ping|Boing! said Zebedee}} Most of Edin balgarin's edits are on articles connected to the Balkans, which seems normal considering that it's a male Bulgarian name (while Evlekis is Serbian, IIRC, based on what he wrote himself on his user page several years ago, but with a Bulgarian connection, also based on what he wrote himself several years ago; and yes it's a he...), but there is an outlier among the articles edited, English people/Talk:English people, that seems suspicious, considering Evlekis's habit of reverting and opposing me. Which is what Edin balgarin did on that article/talk page recently, after having had the account since 2015 without having edited any article even remotely connected to that corner of Europe before (my interaction with Edin balgarin last November on Maltese people was me reverting his edits, not the other way around...). - Tom | Thomas.W ^talk 14:40, 15 March 2019 (UTC)
• :{{ping|Thomas.W}} Yes, it was the English people/Talk:English people thing that raised my suspicions, especially as its timing coincides with a spate of Evlekis nonsense. But possibly better to give it the benefit of the doubt and just keep an eye open? Boing! said Zebedee (talk) 15:31, 15 March 2019 (UTC)

::*{{ping|Boing! said Zebedee}} I'll keep an eye on them. - Tom | Thomas.W ^talk 15:02, 16 March 2019 (UTC)

As Evlekis is using a new bunch of accounts created in the past few days (including several today), I think a CU sleeper check is needed. Also, a recommendation that Evlekis socks should always be blocked with TPA and email disabled - he's also resurrected a load of old blocked accounts that still had TPA. Boing! said Zebedee (talk) 11:28, 15 March 2019 (UTC)

Fairly obvious case of sockpuppetry given the attempt to win a revert war at Gibraltar [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Gibraltar&action=history], Gibraltarians [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Gibraltarians&action=history], not to mention a confession on their talk page [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=User_talk%3ABravanello&type=revision&diff=905323382&oldid=905321408]. I think the blocking admin may have missed the first account on this SPI {{ping|ST47}}.

I rather suspect given their knowledge of wiki workings there are other sleeper accounts. Request check user to confirm sock puppetry and to highlight any sleepers. WCM_email 12:11, 8 July 2019 (UTC)

Hi, a few days ago I entered English wikipedia. I have no more accounts here, only one with the same name in Spanish wikipedia. I have been on wikipedia for a short time, and I have not been very clear about the sock puppets. According to what I have understood, I do not have to do anything, right?

Hombre Gancho (talk) 12:37, 8 July 2019 (UTC)

{{ping|ST47}} There's no doubt about the two accounts listed as socks being connected, but I do not think they belong to Hombre Gancho (their English is very different, showing the suspected socks belong to a native English speaker, while Hombre Gancho obviously isn't a native speaker), instead they most probably belong to a long-term vandal and socker in Wiltshire, UK, whose name I don't see any point in mentioning: if I'm right a CU will see who it is, and if I'm wrong it doesn't matter. An LTA drawn to the article because I had edited it, not because he cares about the subject. - Tom | Thomas.W ^talk 13:10, 8 July 2019 (UTC)

• I didn't believe that Hombre Gancho was obvious enough to block at the time, while the two new accounts this morning were extremely obvious to one another. (I was also looking at Gibraltarians, which Hombre Gancho never edited.) No objection to blocking Hombre Gancho as the master if someone comes to that conclusion, I just wasn't sure myself.

Per WP:ANI#Obvious_Evlekis-sock_in_need_of_a_quick_block. Already indeffed by User:Sro23. I don't have admin goggles, so I can't see the diffs. I'm reporting here 1) for posterity and 2) to request CU because the last SPI (10 days ago!) had 1 reported sock, but a CU found 2 sleepers -- so there will probably be some more.

Based on behavioural evidence: targeting me, making odd reverts with an edit summary falsely claiming they reverted a certain edit, without reverting that edit, making double reverts (i e first making a revert and then reverting that revert) in order to confuse other editors, and increase their editcount, etc, etc, *and* swiftly creating a new sock (Humbugz) when they needed help with removing a speedy tag on an article (Franky Wah) that they created directly in article space after the draft (Draft:Franky Wah) had been declined at AfC. - Tom | Thomas.W ^talk 09:39, 11 June 2020 (UTC)

See page history of Grobina. Evlekis using his favourite good sock/bad sock trick, first reverting me with a non-obvious sock (Dropstick), and then using a very obvious sock User:Epsom Axe Grinder to revert the non-obvious sock, with the obvious sock then being reverted leaving the edit of the non-obvious sock untouched.

This user already shows a behavior that deserves a block by itself. His original account (if it isnt another alt) is Chestermoon. It appeared on 23 December and only engaged in vandalism [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Talk:Germans&oldid=995816083] [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Romanians&oldid=995816998]. He left me a message [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=User_talk:Super_Dromaeosaurus&oldid=995816513] but was afterwards blocked. The next account to appear is Jimmy Reverence on the same day. Again, he only engaged in vandalism and in annoying people. He left me this message pretty much admitting he was just another account of Chestermoon [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=User_talk:Super_Dromaeosaurus&oldid=995832018]. He got blocked again and made the third accounta day later, James Parker Tom, which literally has "Jimmy Reverence" in his userpage [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:James_Parker_Tom] even though he denied being the same person with a lame excuse [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=User_talk:Super_Dromaeosaurus&diff=prev&oldid=996158439]. And yes, he again left me another message with this new account [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=User_talk:Super_Dromaeosaurus&oldid=996120986].

In resume, a disruptive and annoying user with racist views and no value at all for the website. The more than obvious connection can be seen with a fast read. User will most likely return so expect another report soon. Super Ψ Dro 17:51, 25 December 2020 (UTC)

Ray Forrest was blocked for not being here to build an encyclopedia with talk page access removed. Szerkesztő 10 showed up on Ray Forrest's talk page 6 minutes later and proclaimed {{Diff|User_talk:Ray_Forrest|995302326|995301931|I'm here to build Wikipédia and the community.}} They couldn't post with the Ray Forrest account so they posted with what appears to be a seperate account. Ray Forrest's first edit (now deleted) was removing a WP:G10 speedy deletion tag from a Draft created by Szerkesztő 10. A checkuser is requested because I believe there are other accounts also. Looking at Ray Forrest's contributions, they went around welcoming a bunch of users including Szerkesztő 10. I don't think it is enough to accuse them of being sockpuppets, I do believe it is enough to create the suspicion for a check user of the accounts. ~ GB fan 10:40, 20 December 2020 (UTC)

I just wanted to file a formal SPI on this vandal who is readily identifiable by [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Talk:Kamala_Harris_2020_presidential_campaign&diff=prev&oldid=994257314&unhide=1 edits like this] that will only be visible to admins. All of the offending edits have been revision deleted but they have the exact same wording from all the sockpuppets, they are all insulting and abusive towards Kamala Harris. Look at [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Special:Log&page=Talk%3AKamala+Harris this kind of abuse] that this article receives. This particular vandal uses the exact identical message but also sometimes calls Joe Biden a pervert for good measure. I would just like to file this report so that sockpuppets can be blocked as sockpuppets and not as vandals. I'm sure a CU check will find there have been dozens of accounts in this sockpuppet farm. I've proposed an edit filter be created because they are so active and because so many edits have to be rev. deleted by admins, I'm afraid that some might pop up and not be caught. Liz ^{Read! Talk!} 00:04, 6 January 2021 (UTC)

:P.S. I originally created a new complaint under the assumption that the sockpuppet master was Born Again Coco but found a message there that said that Evlekis was the sockpuppet master so I have copied and pasted the message here.

This may be a separate case, but I'll file it here for reasons I'll explain below.

There is an IP-hopping vandal that has been repeatedly vandalized BLPs with the same sort of behaviour - they have targeted articles including Jay Leno, Ted Turner with Ted Turner being the last recorded incident of the IP vandal. In all cases, articles have had to be semi-protected since the vandal just comes back with more IPs.

A few days ago, {{noping|Chuck Mincho}} came to my talk page to ask about the Ted Turner article. They seemed a bit trolling but I hung on to AGF instead of reporting them to AIV - eventually Sro23 blocked them as an obvious sock.

After Chuck Mincho was blocked, {{noping|The Road to Paradise}} came and reverted a seemingly unrelated edit. We had a conversation about it, but after they reached 10 edits they posted [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=User_talk%3APahunkat&type=revision&diff=1006248216&oldid=1006247833 this] message to my TP as a reply. You can guess what happened next, they bypassed the semi-protection on Ted Turner and vandalized again.

Today {{noping|Blishtwish}} came along, reverting to a sock edit on the article TP.

I'm pretty sure this is Evlekis - it's not like the IP-hopping vandal to create accounts, they seem a bit too knowledgeable about things on wiki - evidence on request by email per WP:BEANS, but it should become clear if you look at their edits. Additionally, we have had a sock (David Pahoraro Alternative) comment on the TP before.

In either case, a CU is needed to check for sleepers. It's clear from the message left by RTP that they are looking to create accounts, and there's a delay between creation and editing of all listed accounts. It's worth checking for sleepers with this master anyway - I'll list some more socks below for CUs to check if needed. Thanks, Pahunkat (talk) 12:19, 13 February 2021 (UTC)

Proven socks that may be useful for a CU (along with the archives):

• {{checkuser|When you listen you learn}}
• {{checkuser|Island magical}}
• {{checkuser|R 772}}
• {{checkuser|Megaoaa}}
• {{checkuser|Revulator}}

• Praxidicae, I originally requested the CU to check if we had a different LTA. Personally, I think there's a large chance of sleepers - there is a delay between account creation and account editing.

I can guarantee you Evlekis is a separate case. See the email I sent you about a month ago.

{{sock list|1=Comperzat|tools_link=yes}}

After popping up out of nowhere and yet acting like they've been here for years (name dropping notice boards, complex wiki code edits, and other red flags for socks), the assumed master here decided to contribute stalk me under another sock that likewise made a single edit. See the identical edit summaries [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=WPA_World_Eight-ball_Championship&diff=1080859794&oldid=1080623743&diffmode=source here] and at the sock's sole edit. Mind you, I'm also certain that the assumed master here is already a sock of a previously indeffed user that probably holds a grudge against me in some fashion, though I can't be certain of whom. It just sets off every sockpuppeteer red flag I've ever seen. oknazevad (talk) 21:02, 5 April 2022 (UTC)

• I had a feeling it was a return of a previous problem. That he targeted me (I've caught him before) is what set of the alarms. This should probably be merged to that case page for the record. oknazevad (talk) 15:16, 6 April 2022 (UTC) {{small|(moved from the administrators' section, Sdrqaz (talk) 00:38, 7 April 2022 (UTC))}}

Go ahead and check. You'll find no correlation between my credentials and the other said editor. We reverted a well known disruptive editor with our opening edits and that is where all behavioural similarity draws to a close.

{{sock list|1=Bloodthirsty Bob|tools_link=yes}}

Oh, I don't know. The targeted harassment of me is a big clue. Like the fact that this user has reverted every single edit I've made today, just like the last few Evlekis socks despite never editing any of these articles before. 100% WP:DUCK. Do we really need to link individual diffs or can an admin just look at the sock's contrib history and see that there's at least a dozen edits that are just blanket reverts of my edits on completely unrelated pages. I'm frankly sick of this bullshit happening every few months. oknazevad (talk) 17:15, 30 May 2022 (UTC)
